4 We need to ask a series of questions, beginning with what should spatial accuracy assessment mean in a world in which everyone is a potential user of geospatial data?...this is a very different perspective from the traditional one of the past 14 years, when it was possible to believe that the results of spatial accuracy assessment were of concern only to small elite of geospatial professionals. By Goodchild M., at Spatial Accuracy 2008

18 5. Discussion Further Study 1. Spatial data error and uncertainty theory is getting more sophisticated, but that only applies to the general GIS and remote sensing data, the special nature of chart data are still not involved, it is necessary to extend the theoretical model of error and quality control and change from the former study of error and uncertainty to user-led evaluation of the suitability. 2. As the chart cartographic data with GIS spatial data in general have both similarities and particularities. Some statistical data need to take into account such as surveys on the navigators, engineers of marine resource investigation or other specific chart users. 3. Man is the most critical part of charts suitability evaluation, but the study of people is the most difficult part at present. This requires multi-disciplinary research, such as cognitive psychology, behavioural science, reliability engineering, management and engineering disciplines.
